Intraocular Pressure | Why Optometrists Check Eye Pressure | An Eye Doctor Explains

- Опубликовано: 9 июл 2024
- This video is all about intraocular pressure and why it's so important that your optometrist checks it. Eye pressure (or IOP) is one of the values we look at when determining someone's risk for developing glaucoma. A glaucoma diagnosis is only made after several different test results have been taken into consideration, but intraocular pressure measurement which indicates high eye pressure is definitely one of the key indicators we look at when diagnosing glaucoma.

Thx for sharing. Sounds like we should be getting tested more often for this
Thank you very much. Extremely informative.
You're the most attractive eye specialist ever to consult!Thankyou for your consultation!
Great content and love your delivery! Especially when you laugh at your own jokes it's just so natural and charming it seems like you're having a real conversation with somebody instead of lecturing. 🌸
Thank you for this ❤️❤️❤️
This is amazing how many things can raise your eye pressure!
Awesome content. Very helpful to me and very relatable delivery. Question - if the pressure in one eye is 15 and the other is 22, could a recent migraine be the cause???
Thank! You! So much🙌💖💯
Hi Dr. D, I don’t know if you’ll see this but I would greatly appreciate a response! I’m 25, no family history of glaucoma, pretty nearsighted, and have tested normal on all other ocular tests they perform for glaucoma (wish I knew the names for them all..) and my cornea is slightly on the thick side. My pressure however has been reading “high” according to my current doctor, so she’s had me on different kinds of prostaglandin drops for 3 months (we kept switching), none of the different kinds have worked, only lowered by a couple points. She had tested me at my last appointment at pressure being 23. I went to another doctor out of curiosity, they tested it at 18. I went back to the original doctor today, told her they got 18, she said that still wasn’t low enough and she wants it at 16. Her reading today was 21. She prescribed me a different kind of drop (brimonidine) that seems to have a ton of possible side effects that really scare me. I’ve otherwise had no other eye problems besides having to wear contacts and glasses and I really would not like to experience severe side effects… I’m considering switching to the other doctor who said they would just monitor for now. What are your thoughts? I just don’t see, without any other risk factors, why I should be spending money on drops every month and risking the side effects unless this is super serious,.. is it serious?
Thanks for sharing and how often can you do the eye Scan
Thank you very much for your IntraOccular Pressure Gluaucoma Disease
Thank you for your helpful information about glaucoma. I have a question, could you please answer it ? Is yogurt safe for glaucoma patients?
Thank you.
Great help for my upcoming class oral report💞. I love the humor in there 😅.
Very informative 👏
Very instructive mostly explained by a smart and charming doctor. Question : don't you think some doctors easily conclude to glaucoma threat?
Thanks.
I wish my eye doctor gave me all this excellent information. You really cleared up a lot of questions I had. Thanks for not editing out your bloopers. You are quite charming and knowledgeable at the same time,
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for appreciating my humor and bloopers. We film 8-10 videos at a time so I get really silly!
could it be sinuses or because i havent been wearing my glasses? because every time i move my eyes they hurt and theres a lot of eye pressure.
Thanks, my eye pressure is low and want to increase it. Any ideas how?
What is the appropriate medication for the iop
Thank you.
I am currently on medication for high IOP. One question, can this condition be passed down.
Wat is the best eye drop for gulocoma
Last month I had a stent placement done do to a narrow venous vain causing iih i feeing better but my eyes been bothering me my surgeon says it’s normal I saw my ophthalmologist my eye pressure is 25 he did my seemed concerned he said it will go away in time my he wants to see in 2 months my optic nerve are ok so I Geuss I’m ok my question is how long does it take for my eye pressure to adjust back to normal
Thank you so much
Good video
My eyes are kinda blood shot, slight headaches, pressure/dullness in back of eyes. More on top maybe. No blurriness but sight is kinda funny. Moreso when I go outside. All I hear is that its related to sinus issues.?
Thank you! I just had an eye exam and it was found that my eye pressure increased slightly. I've always been on the high side of normal. Can Gabapentin and antihistamines temporarily raise IP? I take if for sleep.
I take both also. About to see an Opthalmologist for 1st time in 12 years. I swear I am going blind.
Can I take Escitalopram 10mg if I am afraid that it will increase my eye pressure?
I have glaucoma i am using latanoprost eye drops i night and renerve vit. Capsules also using but my eyes feel pain
Can you tell patient wat to use to protect their eyes from getting the high pressure in the eyes?.
Eating low carb diet. They dont wont you to know that because they make money off the medications.
Thank you
Ma case: I'm 48. Last year had 3 month bupropione for smoking cessation. Went to optometrist because my eyes where funny dry irritated after this meds and like " popping out , tense" . My eye pressure was L 18R 19. Stopped bupropione done full glaucoma test . All fine. Optic nerve ideal angles fine. This year I went on bupropione again. 1 month and same situation. Dry itchy tense eyes. Checked with optometrist: L 19 R 21 ( border line) . Should I continue bupropione or it shows clearly it mess up my eyes 👀 and take me towards glaucoma?( optic nerve is fine all fine again) Question: Can ocular pressure change temporarily during medication and come back to normal after? And how big can be daily fluctuations? 5- 6 Mhg? Or more. Perhaps my Pressure is higher and they catched it only in low digits? ( I guess it will require 24h monitoring?)
I’ve had high eye pressure for at least 8 years. Also on Humira for psoriatic arthritis? Drs told me that it did not affect my eyes??
What’s the best eye drops to control Glaucome ? And another important question with the advance of medical science what’s the best to get rid of glaucoma
Can iop cure, what are the normal range for the eye
Thanks
I have a problem with my eyes the pressure high
Hello: DR. D IM CURRENTLY ON LATANOPROST 0.0005% 1 DROP AT NIGHT. WHICH HAS A PERSEVATIVE BY THE NAME OF BENZALKONIUM OR (BAK) WHICH HAS BY WHAT I READ COULD DAMAGE THE DRAINAGE SYSTEM IN OUR EYE AND CAUSE OUR PRESSURE TO GO HIGHER. MY QUESTION IS ARE THERE ANY INTRAOCULAR MEDICATION THAT DONT HAVE THIS PRESERVATIVE IN IT THAT ONE CAN USE INSTEAD? IF SO, CAN YOU PLEASE REVEAL THIS OPTIONS INSTEAD YOUR SUBSCRIBERS THANK YOU.
My eyes are modest but I have strain pressure
Is there a surgery for glaucoma. Thank you.
Yes there are many actually!
How can we lower the eye pressure?
High pressure on eyes is risk or normal please reply,?
Dr did our bad habits can cause floaters .. did our good habits can help us to decrease that ....my dr told me my eye is ok .. please reply i really need to know tha answer
No, floaters are not a reflection of anything you did or didn’t do. They just are. I’m digging into dietary causes but in general we believe they just happen.
The blue lense glasses are needed. Radiation from devices changes pressure.
My eye pressure is a 2 how can I get that up to a 10 I’ve had five steroid shots and nothing has brought it up just keep dropping
Thanks doctor for the video
I got POAG when i was 21
Now im 35 n i got trabeculectomy last january
But the IOP is still in the range of 12 to 18
Is it safe?
Thanks in advance
Does glucosamine causes eye pressure ?
Lo ved your video... 🤩
Can progression of glaucoma be stopped at the middle initial stage and if so how?
Most cases of glaucoma can be appropriately managed with some simple eye drops (prescribed by your doctor)
@@EyeSchoolwithDrD Many many thanks.
@@EyeSchoolwithDrD and in agel closure cases ...
I have this right now is so painful 😢😢😢
My IOP is only high at night when I sleep. During the day IOP is normal. If I stay up all night, the IOP is normal, no problem. When I sleep in the day, the IOP is normal.
I have the same. Have you found out a cure? It is a very uncomfortable feeling at night.
@@maryoneill5449 I am on a meat only diet, because fruit and vegetables have plant toxins. I started with this diet January 2022. Now 15 months later my eyes are healed. This diet heals from the inside. I have learned a lot from Dr. Ken Berry and Mikaela Petesson on RUclips. It also helps for people with auto immune disorders.
Can long stay in front of the computer screen increase the intraocular pressure?
Probably not, it normally increases due to a liquid inside the eye not being able to sufficiently drain and replace as it should. I don't think an external factor like that would make a difference. Computers normally are not the devil ,its the luck of blinking when focusing and the fact that eyes are converging for long time on a close object so they can feel strained.
Mam my presure is 24 in both eye doc told me ocular hypertension wait for months
Is she overweight with diabetes.
@@freespirit7450 no not she he
@@freespirit7450 bro i have panic attak while going to dr for IOP checkup my heart beat weant up so that could be reson

I have water to brain and leaks into optic nerves also I have herpes in eye and lazy eye my water to brain cause pseudo tumor on optic nerves I take diamox and antiviral I put eye ointment every night
wtf
She’s goofy but I like that. She’s funny I’m like that too. I’m kind of nerdy, love science,a female, and sometimes I say corny things that make me laugh that may not be funny at all to anybody else. 😆
@2:50. 545 mm thick? Now that’s a thick eye! Ha! um? Excellent video! Thanks for posting.
Did I say millimeters? It’s nanometers 🤓
Does crying increase IOP?
Hello

If eyes pressure is higher these is sign of galucoma?????

I’m making sure to give practical everyday advice here on this channel!
@@EyeSchoolwithDrD Does the tool actually touch your eye? Ive had the puff test done numerous times and the last time I told the nurse I think you touched my eye. And she said its supposed to.
@@deirdremorris9234 I definitely don’t think so
My eyes feel too big for my sockets after I yell at my husband...😏
I have 22 in my Left eye and 48 in my right eye ___________ HalLeLu YAHshua ++++++++++++++++
Why they check your eye pressure? to make you dependent on chemicals and keep their pay cheques coming as long as you live!
Mam I consulted doctor recently he told me I have 19 pressure in left eye and 23 in right by the way my family has no glaucoma history but I taken drug called finasteride for 1 year for hair . They taken vision field test which is normal what your opinion on this scenario PLZZ reply mam
Hi what your eye doctor said about finasteride does this pill has any thing to do with eye pressure
@@alibuttar1678 doctor asked me to stop this drug since it is associated with many side effects during my young age my eye pressures where normal doctor never consulted me as a big issue but all of sudden pressure raised which means this drug has some influence in eye also since it is steroid like medication right now my doctor asked me to stop let's see what happens in future months ...
@@rithikroosen2416 thx for your help I am taking this drug I gone stop taking this as well from today
@@rithikroosen2416 you don't have glaucoma.right,?
Hey Rithik, can I get your Instagram id ? I need few answers plz
Your attitude is way too casual.
Too many hand and hair head gestures. What was that bout with having to sip something liquid from a chest episode? Rather frightening.
